kepada jack tersayang...
dexa suppression test nie, mu kne paham hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis

ok, exogenous dexa, effecet die same ngan cortisol, so die akn bg -ve feedback ke pituitary n hypothalamus.

klau salah bgtaw k...
LOW dose dexa (0.5mg QD X 2/7)...
in normal person, serum cortisol level akn reduce at 0800hr. therefore cam test ni confirm ade Cushing Syndrome jers k..

Then kite nak differentiate la, ACTH dependent causes or non-ACTH dependent cause... so kite buat HIGH dose dexa...klau cortisol level become low at 0800 hr, so dah confirm ada pitutary adenoma secreting ACTH i.e. Cushing DISEASE.

klau serum cortisol level still elevated, so ade dua kemungkinan lg samada
1. ectopic ACTH synd/Paraneoplastic syndrome or
(ACTH dependent) or
2. Adrenal tumour (Non-ACTH dependent)
SO, kite measure plasma ACTH.

yup, pseudo-Cushing syndrome eg alcoholosm, pregnancy, major depression n obesity blh sbbkan test neh False +ve
